What Coho Fly was it?

I was fishing for silvers in Kodiak last fall. Mostly I used flies I made. In a FF shop (near the Russian River, the shop has moved from Kodiak City to this place) I bought some flies. The hook was "attached to the fly" with a 40lbs (or so) line (sorry, can explain better). So, the fly-hook was flexible. I had some good fishing with these kind of flies. For trying, I bought ESL and other flies, all with this 'system'.

I guess, many of you know these flies and the name of this type of flies.
If one of you could send me a picture and/or the name of it, I would be happy. I am writing my kodiakblog and like to note this.

Typically articulated flies are created by connecting the trailer/stinger hook with braided line (e.g. fireline), dacron backing, wire, or heavy monofilament. Another common practice for articulated flies is to connect two hooks together and cut off the point of the front hook.
